My son took his 85-year-old mother (me) out for new year's day brunch. Enjoyable ambience, great service. The buffet was interesting, but not too fresh, as we came late: B+. Courtney, who waited on us, as well as being very kind and efficient, was lovely, and had a delightful sense of humor: A+. We would certainly go there again.

Great meal. 3 of us ordered 5 dishes,which might have been 1 too many for our group (1 larger eater; two smaller eaters) Typically it can be noisy but they say us at a banquette in corner across from the bar, so the noise level (6pm res) was quite tolerable
